16. It means does there need to be a conviction or act of congress
Thu Feb 8, 2024, 11:36 AM

Declaring him an insurrectionistionist, or is it self executing without requiring that.

For example, someone being 30 years old is self executing. No other action by any other official body needs to be made.

The 14th section 3 as written is also self executing. But Thomas is flailing.
